I think that was an Article 26 reference to the Supreme Court to test the constitutionality of legislation. That would be representation appointed by the Chief Justice to argue for the unborn as a class, not the interests of a particular unborn. It sounds like a crass differentiation, but Deputy O'Donnell will know what I mean. That was to deal with legislation and the same argument cannot be employed here.
